Problem with design project for Quartus (device - MAX II)

Hellow.

I want develop some project on EPM570GM100I5N (MAX II family), but I can't find this device (and other G MAX II devices ) in Quartus II 12.1sp1 Web Edition (64-Bit). How can I solve this problem (I should change device (for example EPM570ZM100I8N) or I should download some addition for Quartus)?

    Ok. I just got a answer from my FAE on this issue: (Thank Dave Smith for the Answer!)

    o target your device, manually enter the part in the Quartus II

    Settings File (.qsf) by performing the following steps:

    Close the project

    Open <project>.qsf in a text editor

    Locate the line set_global_assignment -name DEVICE <device code>

    Change the setting to the device you are targeting

    As an example, for the part EPM2210GF256I5, the syntax would be

    set_global_assignment -name DEVICE EPM2210GF256I5

    Exclude the N (lead-free) indicator if that is applicable to

    your part

    Save the updated file

    To verify your changes, perform the following steps:

    Open your project

    On the Assignments menu, click Devices

    Verify that Target device has the Other: option selected and is set

    to your device

    In this example, EPM2210GF256I5

    Why quartus doesn't list the G variation I don't know. But it does work. I compiled a simple design just to verify and under device and pin options for Voltage, it lists the VCCINT as 1.8V instead of the 3.3V for the F variation that I initially started the project with.

    And anybody know, does it really work with real device when I'll programm it?
